Thirty-seven of forty-two
The scoreboard published by the organisers lists Pudełko under the team code POL1 with a total of 37, five points below the maximum. Ahead of her: Yankuan Liu of China on a perfect 42, and Yuxuan Meng of China on 38. One point separated second place from third.
Behind her the order ran Amber Li of Australia on 36, then Tina Ding of Germany and Netta Ilani of Israel level on 35, Angela Liu of the United States on 34, Yuqi Lan of China on 33, and Anna Kazhamiakina of Italy and Hannah Fox of the United States on 32. Five points covered second to sixth place.
The competition
The 2025 olympiad was held in Prishtina, Kosovo, and drew 214 contestants. National teams are small — the scoreboard numbers contestants by country code and team position — so the entry list is the product of selection processes running in parallel in dozens of countries rather than an open competition.
The field also reaches beyond Europe, as the leading places show: China, Australia and the United States all appear in the first ten, ranked in the same order as the European teams. Third place in Prishtina therefore means third among everyone who sat the paper that week.
A result published by the organisers
Every figure on this page comes from the scoreboard of the competition itself. Olympiad marks are settled in coordination, where the jury and the team leaders agree the score for each script against a published scheme, and the table is released once that process is complete.
The research record compiled for this page lists an unaccented spelling, Magdalena Pudelko, which is how the name may appear in listings that drop diacritics. No Polish press coverage or interview is among the sources used here, and nothing further about Pudełko appears in them.
What is documented — and what is not
Firm: 37 points of 42, third place, a gold medal, Poland as the country, and the 2025 olympiad in Prishtina as the competition, in a field of 214.
Open: no age, birth year, school, city or photograph is published in these sources. Nothing states how Pudełko was selected for the Polish team, whether she competed at earlier or later editions, or what she has done since the competition. Those absences are recorded here rather than filled in.
Why third is worth stating exactly
Gold medals at the olympiad are handed to a band of contestants whose scores can differ by a dozen points or more, and the cut-off moves each year with the difficulty of the paper. A medal alone therefore places a result only approximately, which is why the scoreboard publishes ranks and totals alongside it.
Third of 214, one point behind second and five short of the maximum, is a precise statement. It is also a durable one: the scoreboard stays online with the numbers on it, long after the competition week in Prishtina has passed out of the news.
